Installation and Startup/Shutdown

...

The first time that you run the start command, it will create a user/password for authentication. You can either hard code the credentials in the script (M_USER and M_PASS) or leave those variables empty in the script (in this case, you will be prompted to enter the credentials the first time that you run the start command).
If you later (after the initial start) want to change the credentials used to authenticate with the Data Repository Server, you can do that with the user command (which can only be executed when the server is stopped). The credentials can come from the script (M_USER, M_PASS), or you can enter them at the prompt.
To register Parasoft Test Data Assistant (TDA) after the initial start, you edit the server.sh script to provide the TDA URL, then run the register command. The credentials for connecting to the Data Repository Server can come from the script (M_USER, M_PASS), or you can enter them at the prompt. You must specify the T_USER and T_PASS variables in the script in order to authenticate with Parasoft Test Data Assistant / Parasoft CTP.When installing a data repository server on Linux or MacOS, take the ulimit parameter on your server into consideration. Since data repository servers can cause many files to be open at the same time, if the ulimit is set too low errors can occur.
